Use an Existing Playbook Project

This page is for people joining a documentation project that already uses Antora.

A playbook is usually located in a playbook project.
A playbook project repository is responsible for generating a documentation site.
It’s strictly a configuration as code repository—​it does not contain any content.
Instead, it contains a playbook file, and, in certain situations, supplemental UI files and extension code.

Before you can generate a site with Antora, you’ll need to fetch the playbook project for your site.

Fetch the playbook project

To start, open a terminal and clone the playbook project using git:

$ git clone your-playbook-repo && cd "`basename $_`"

The command clones an existing playbook project and then switches to the project folder.
